About Us

The purpose of the traineeship programme is to offer successful candidates an opportunity to improve their skills, to acquire practical knowledge as well as the experience of working in an international environment.

Eligibility requirements:

Applicants must have completed their higher education and want to improve their skills and acquire experience during the years following their graduation.

Terms of traineeship programme:

The duration of a traineeship is three to twelve months.

The traineeship programme is normally on a full-time basis but part-time arrangements can be agreed upon depending on both the requirements of the department/programme and the availability of the trainee. The trainees are expected to work in a department/programme which has selected them, under the supervision of a staff member. The staff member may either act as a tutor or work in close collaboration with a designated tutor. Both the name of the direct supervisor and the one of the tutor should be stipulated in the terms of Reference.

Trainees are considered gratis personnel. They are not staff members and shall not represent the Institute in any official capacity.
